The Flash #799 review

The Flash and friends are travelling through space and time to find his newborn son Wade, stolen by the living nightmare that is Granny Goodness. It’s a dire situation by any estimation, but as much as he’s the living personification of speed, Wally West embodies optimism. And with Mr Terrific, Hourman, Kid Flash, Metamorpho, Phantom […]

The Flash #797 review

Wally and Linda West’s twins Irey and Jai are well into the idea of being superheroes. What they’re less keen on is being attacked by arch-foes out for revenge before they’ve actually fought for the first time. That’s what happens when their uncle Ace – the current Kid Flash – agrees to babysit them for […]

Dark Crisis: War Zone #1 review

Here isn’t a bad idea for a comic – five stories from the Dark Crisis battlefield. There’s Jim Corrigan racing towards the possessed-by-evil Spectre in the hope he can reunited with the Spirit of Vengeance who used to share his body, and help him regain control. Frank Tieri gives Corrigan a ‘tougher’ voice than usual […]

Teen Titans Academy #15 review

And so we say farewell to the latest Teen Titans series, which has the distinction of being the most frustrating superhero series in years. Some issues have been great, more have been terrible. Which means that the book tanked and the promising new characters – Gorilla Gregg, Stitch, Summer, Diego – are likely now waiting […]

Teen Titans Academy #13 review

Every comic is somebody’s first, so be reader friendly, goes the truism. It’s not a rule writer Tim Sheridan pays attention to… as with most issues, he doesn’t introduce his cast. Not really. A few names are dropped, but if you’ve not been making notes, good luck working out who all the Titans Academy students […]

Teen Titans Academy #12 review

There’s one line of dialogue in Teen Titans Academy #12 that you can take as the TLDR version of this review This comic is a mess. It’s being cancelled in May, but if this were the last issue it’d be a mercy killing. We have had a few good issues, concentrating on the better new […]

Justice League Incarnate #1 review

Spinning out of the recent Infinite Frontier series, the multiversal Justice League get the spotlight as they bid to foil the latest plot by the latest Darkseid. It turns out the master of Apokolips hasn’t been himself for a while, but he’s back and bigger than ever, having absorbed lesser versions, or something. I know […]

Infinite Frontier #5 review

This one’s got it all! It’s a cliche but so far as DC event comics go – and when you’re talking DC events, you’re talking Crises – Infinite Frontier #5 has everything I want. There are revelations, as Psycho Pirate explains that he’s aiming to protect worlds from the effects of the continuous multiversal massacres […]
